Marco sleeps through the night most of the time. When he does wake up, we either hit the mobile and he goes back to sleep or we hold him for about five minutes and put him back to bed. He doesn’t eat at night anymore. Doc says he’s big enough and we want him to stay in the habit of eating only during the day like a good little GLEC. He’s been good to us. We’re very lucky.
He’s really playing with toys now, which is fun. It’s easy to set him down with a pile of toys. He can entertain himself with staring at them, sucking on them, picking them up and throwing them. Doc says soon he will pass them back and forth between hands. I know… it’s thrilling.
Marco dines on almost exclusive soy formula these days taking four ounce bottles during the day with a six ouncer at bedtime. Sometimes he protests when a bottle finishes and we’ll add another two ounces. He’s a piggy piggy. Doc says we can start with rice cereal anytime between now and six months. I think he’s too little! :)
He’s wearing 3-6 month clothes and has pretty much outgrown his smaller stuff. Some of his pants are too long, but never fear, daycare just hikes them up to about his chest. WHAT? I can just imagine what the cool kids say about him. “Look at the dork!" "Doesn’t that hurt?”
And its a huge shame that he’s grown out of most of his hats, because he’s losing all his rockin’ hair! Poor bald baby looks like Phantom of the Opera (if the Phantom were very handsome in the face). G-ma C says that he’s balding much earlier than Jeff who waited until his 20s. THANKS FOR HAVING ME!! Goodnight!
Here are some shots from the park with Brooke on Friday. Katie and I walked down with our roadies. We're so grown up.
Marco first swing!
Brooke likes to share.
Isn't she sweet!?
